High School Math "Expert" Groups

Deb Vahle and Trish Paul demonstrated an engaging and effective structure in their Co-taught Algebra 3 class yesterday.  Students had taken a quiz and students that had done well on the quiz were selected as "experts" for various problems from the quiz.  Mrs. Vahle was the "expert" for a concept, as well.  Mrs. Paul would monitor and assist with expert instruction, as well.  Students were handed back their quizzes and then allowed the opportunity to work in small groups with peer and teacher experts where they revisited mistakes made on the quiz as a way to reinforce concepts that were missed.
Watch the videos.  The engagement of this structure was great and there was some really positive small group learning occuring!!!
